Fiber Optics
Light source can be moved into an optic fibre. The angle of the beam can be altered. Passage of light through the fibre is displayed, illustrating Snell's law.
Optics Applet
This applet allows users to simulate standard optic elements (lens, mirror, dielectrics, sources, apertures) and observe the ways that light rays propagate through these elements.
The Rev. John Kerr
The Rev. John Kerr (1814 - 1907) was a lecturer in mathematics and physics whose first publication became known as the Kerr electro-optic effect. The electro-optic effect was utilised in early ...
